The presentation of the laws and principles studied in this course, will support participants in developing a practical understanding of Myrtle and Charles theology as heart centered metaphysicians.  It is our expectation that through the development of such practical understanding, participants will be inspired to also become heart centered metaphysicians. We also expect them to develop a “tool kit” for using healing principles in their daily lives and in supporting other people in their own healing process.

There are three major topics in which the teachings will be based. Those three major topics are: 

• The Source of Healing,
• The Consciousness of Healing
• The Practice of Healing

Course Description:

The topics of this course will be presented by simultaneously reading, discussing or debriefing  the from the four text books.  For that reason, the course has been divided into two parts.  Part one will essentially work with The Source of Healing and the second part with the Consciousness and Practice of Healing. However all topics will be intertwined throughout the two classes.

Faculty will prepare a Learning Guide for each week's work. The Learning Guide will include comments about the topic to be studied during the week, as well as suggestions about what to look for in the assigned readings.

Along with this posting, faculty will initiate discussion threads by posting specific questions related to the week's topic of study. Students will be able to post responses to the discussion questions, respond to other students' postings, and present questions to the class. Faculty will respond as appropriate.

Questions of special interest to individual students will be answered by e-mail.
 

• Analyze, interpret and explain the essential elements of Myrtle and Charles Fillmore's theology in developing their spiritual understanding and the Unity Movement.
• Create a practical road map or “tool kit” for their spiritual journey.
• Demonstrate how they are using the essential teachings of the Fillmore's in developing a spiritual consciousness that serves their spiritual purpose of helping and supporting the enhancement of the world consciousness.
• Update their vocabulary regarding the concepts presented in the books of study.  They will use the updated vocabulary in the weekly posting discussions and in their individual assignments.  Faculty will make notations when this does not happen

Participate in Online Discussions
Several questions will be posted in the discussion forum each week. Students are asked to post a response to discussion questions and to respond to other students' postings as they feel inspired. The number of questions you are required to respond to, will be noted each week in the discussion forum. Those will never exceed two questions. You may answer as many questions (from the learning guide, as you wish for your own growth.

Periodic Online Exams
Final Paper
Choose at least one idea from the book or class and create a way to put it into practice. Practice it for at least 21 days. Write a 300- to 500-word paper based on your experience. In the paper, describe the idea, what happened, what you learned, and how this may affect your life. The due date will be assigned to those students actually taking the course.

Each individual is expected to invest some time in prayer, reflection and journaling. The amount of time invested is certainly up to the individual and will therefore vary from person to person. However, these practices are essential to your understanding and realization of the truths. You will discover that this is your most fulfilling work during the course.

Web Research:
Searching the Web for related information is highly encouraged, and we hope the fruits of your searches will be shared with the rest of the class.
